About Dragon Well

Dragon Well, also known as Longjing tea or Lung Ching is a well-known pan-roasted variety of Chinese green tea. The name Dragon Well comes from a literal translation and the other name stems from the Longjing village in Zhejiang Province in China.

When speaking of pan-roasting, you should note that this is literally a method that has been used for centuries by tea masters and it involves flattening the leaves along the inside vein and frying them in a wok. This method serves a dual purpose as it stops the oxidation process that naturally occurs after picking, but it also gives a toasty aroma with a hint of the sweet taste you might find eating a roasted corn. The unique and rounded flavor coupled with a sort of buttery texture make this tea really popular among green tea enthusiasts and regular consumers alike.

As is the case with many types of tea hailing from this part of the world, Dragon Well is rich in amino acids, vitamin C, and catechins. For those of you unfamiliar with catechins, you should know that those compounds are naturally occurring antioxidants belonging to the flavonoids family. We will touch on the importance of those later.

Ingredients and Effects

For inexperienced tea drinkers, it should be clarified what are the usual ingredients of green teas in general:

Rather than getting into specific numbers and detail all the ingredients, we will focus on the two of the important ones relevant to the Dragon Well tea: Caffeine and Catechins.

How much caffeine in dragon well? A single cup of Dragon Well tea contains less than a quarter the amount of caffeine found in a similarly sized cup of coffee. For those looking to get exact numbers, a cup of Dragon Well contains between 15-25 mg of caffeine. This means that it can be safely used even just before the bedtime without the fear of affecting your sleep patterns.

Catechins are what makes green tea in general beneficial to your health. For centuries, these naturally occurring compounds were thought to be useful for treating cardiovascular issues and promote general well-being. Although the specifics are not yet unequivocally proven by scientists, the chemical family these compounds belong to (flavonoids) are known to help maintain a proper dilation of blood vessels contributing to normal blood flow. Other effects have been reported, one of them claiming to have a positive effect on cholesterol.

Here is the list of the most commonly reported health benefits of the Dragon Well .

1. Enhances healthy digestion2. Strengthens the immune system and helps it fight off infections, viruses, and bacteria3. Improves the blood flow and lowers the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Dragon Well for Weight Loss

It should be noted that while some of these effects are not scientifically confirmed, many of them have been attributed to most types of green teas and some specifically to the Dragon Well. To be specific, the weight loss effect has been reportedly better than with other types of herbal teas. Many dieticians often include this tea in the dietary plans for the patients looking to reduce the excess weight, especially fats and fat deposits.

I must say wow, this Long Jing is great. It is not the Long Jing with the most important floral aroma but it is the one with the longest lasting taste. You can still fill it few hours after your cup of tea, quite impressive.
One remark, it is not \"official\" Westlake Long Jing, the buds are covered with some light fur. Sometimes I wish that the farmer choose other name for their tea rather than trying to make copy. With such great tea it deserves its own name.
